You’d probably be a manager by now. Compensation might be a base of 125k or so with low bonus (10k or less most likely)
Note also that a base of 125 is what you’d approximately be worth internally. You get stuffed if you stay at one place. If you made a lateral move with the manager title, you could bring more like 140-150 base
Depends on performace you could stilll be a senior or you could be senior manager. Most would be manager in 5 to 7 years. I made SM after 6 years. Im in my 1st year as SM in MCOL and my base is 165k. Over 200k with bonuses.

You get 35k worth of bonuses? Geez. I'm lucky to get 3.5k of bonus
These numbers definitely aren’t high. Tax manager here in my seventh year making $165K plus bonus. I think $125K is on the low side for 7 years.
In Kansas City or comparable lcol area?
If you’re working the same crappy hours and stress as the rest of us, you might as well get the title and pay to go with it. Though I’d argue it’s probably more like $100k-120k for M1 in KC. Sometimes smaller firms have lower hiring qualifications so I’d make sure to have CPA, spotless background check, masters of tax would help.
Manager
Those numbers seem high to me, but maybe that’s me. Robert Half has a free salary guide, you can choose role, city, and if your employer is small or if you’re in a niche area maybe look on the lower end of the salary band. But yes, at big 4 you’d likely be manager if you have your CPA or counseled out by 7 years. In industry, you could be in a senior role for 20 years, just no guarantees. Big4 promotes faster than industry because it’s a bunch of top of their class competitive people willing to work 70-80 hours a week for years on end, while taking and passing the cpa exam.
